97 VTec Lude

Hello again...

After going through the timing belt and water pump, brakes, etc... oh and getting a new transmission, I am finally starting to get enough money to put shit on my car, that i actually want to spend money on. So i need some advice... I have close to $600 right now and im looking to get a cat-back exhaust, im not doing any major engine mods, basically bolt-ons b/c its an auto. Im just looking for opinions here, and i think i already know which exhaust i want to get, but just for shits, which of these exhaust do you think sounds better? Deeper and somewhat loud...
Greddy Evo? or Apexi N1?
Should i do custom piping? or anything?
Does anyone have pics of their 5th gen Lude w/ either of these exhaust?? If so, please post a pic.. thanks



I'll just hit both subjects with one post...
what rims do you suggest? (I am looking for WHITE rims, my lude is red)
Motegi Mr-7's (17's or 18's)?
Tenzo-R SHU-10 (17 or 18)?
" Mean-6 (17 or 18)
" RS-5 (17 or 18)
5Zigen 5ZR Copse (17 or 18)

Thanks a lot, sorry about all my choices... i cant make up my mind
Later,
Zakk

Apeni N1 is what I have, and it sounds great. no bee in a can effect.

i don't know man, when i think of coffee can exhausts, the n1 is the first one that comes to mind...

i think you want a thermal or a tanabe G POWER. they've got nice deep rumbles to em.

you should only get a white rim if your car is white. If your car is then you should get a dark rim like gun metal wiht a polished lip and a cf hood. Thats wut I would do.

white rims can look cool on non white cars.

ITR CW OEM wheels on EBP cars looks neat.

buy some knee pads with them white rims cause u'll be cleaning them twice a day.

if you do white graphics white wheels can work.. i've seen a red lude like urs with white wheels but the opinion of most of us here on HAN and even PO is that white wheels really don't belong on any car...
i'm not sure where in louisiana u are but if you go for an intake i'd go with injen with the optional CAI attatchment for flooding reasons....

for your catback options.... i've heard both and i prefer the greddy evo.... but if you don't like the sound i don't know if they offer a silencer like the apex'i does.... but in any case both of them are nice sounding and only a universal exhaust will make you sound like a fart can :chuckles:

i understand about the opinions on the white rims, its just that i dont want the basic silver rim color... im looking for somethin different, but im not sure if i would like the black or gun-metal look on red, im still deciding, not sure tho
